Correct Answer: Both 1 and 2. In Article 12, Directive principles are guidelines issued by constitution to state which are applied at the time of designing laws, policies, ordinances and several other policies. The idea of such policies is to introduce socio-economic democracy in a state in order to create welfare state. Further Article 39 describes state to go all out to have ample way of livelihood, pay for similar work, safeguard the citizens, etc. The Directive principles are not enforceable in court of law, as it is only Fundamental Rights which gets practiced in a state.
